Those are all pretty consistant with the classic Santa imagry of Thomas Nast circa the late 1800's, methinks. Not a criticism, just noting that there are a number of alternative takes on the big guy out there, too. Merry Christmas, TSG
This year's crop of Santas are definitely "mainstream"...these were the ones I came across at antique shoppes and window displays in my recent walkabouts. I have more than a few non-trad St. Nicks in the archives but I was too lazy to pull out the backup SSDs and embark on a search for the jolly fellow.
